Production Ukrainian "Watch" will be stopped

Production of the first ukrainian armored vehicle "Dozor-b" will be stopped due to lack of funds – no money for salaries or for the purchase of components, reports auto-consulting. Producer of "Watch", "Lviv armored plant (vtz) owed to the kharkov tractor factory 2,15 million hryvnias for delivery of the slewing devices required for the installation of the combat module on the roof of the armored car," – writes the ukrainian edition. Financial difficulties at the plant explain the fact that all the money spent on repair of equipment for ato. In addition, the war in the Donbass does not allow the company to earn on exports. "In connection with the ato in the east of Ukraine the enterprise is deprived of the opportunity to export their products to other countries, since all factory refurbished equipment is supplied solely for the mat. Under the terms of state contracts, the amount of profit, established by ministry of defense of Ukraine to the defendant, is minimal, and almost all of the profits of the enterprise is used for the purchase of components and materials for repair of armored vehicles, as well as the payment of wage arrears to employees of the enterprise", – explained the representative of the plant in court case about debt collection. "Ukroboronprom" the problem with funding is recognized. The state is able to cover only minimum needs, without investing in production, without investment in technology. For comparison, russia's defense budget – nearly $ 50 billion, it is more than the entire consolidated budget of Ukraine, said the publication in concern. The resource notes that the launch of production of "Patrols" in lviv was very hard.

"The enterprise broke the terms, with grief in half, with 10 commodity "Patrol-b", which barely passed the military acceptance. Since then, the "Patrols" nothing was heard. And in 2014, officials at various levels have announced from 200 to 2000 "Patrols". But to start the production of new equipment was not so easy," – concludes the publication.
